Narrative

On 29 January 1956 at 0005Z near Pittsfield, Maine, a 57-year-old retired wool mill worker going out to his car observed a single round object 10 times larger than the largest star. The object was blue with white center and red outer edge, with a ragged outer edge, no sound. Five rods above horizon, 15 miles to west at 315 degrees. Erratic maneuvers up, down, right, and left observed for one half hour using 7x35 binoculars. Disappeared slowly to west. Clear sky. Headquarters concluded probably astronomical, with size discrepancy and erratic apparent motion possibly accounted for by observer perception.
